The Year of the Spy
1985 is called "the year of the spy" because of the significance of the American spies arrested for betraying the United States. It was also the year that a very damaging spy, Aldrich Ames, began his career. That year, Moscow was able to find and arrest many agents working for the US, executing at least ten. But Ames does not account them for all. When Ames was arrested in 1994, he admitted giving names, but insisted he first turned over information in June of 1985. Moscow had discovered three significant spies in May. If Ames' timing is correct, there was another double agent in the American ranks that year.
Aldrich Ames says he handed over his first documents on June 13, 1985 at Chadwick's in Georgetown.
